Posts: 4053Regarding travel for free as an elderly, with bus and metro. I'm not sure but it heard as a foreigner you'll need a cédula de Identidade de Estrangeiro. If you have a retirement visa it's no problem but as a tourist I doubt you can travel for free, but I might be wrong.
Another thing that's very good is an International Student Identity Card which gives student discounts. It gives discounts on cinemas, museums, ZOO, Sugarloaf, Cristo Redentor and many other places. Every trip I save hundreds of reais by showing my ISIC card in my phone. I'm not a student but I use an image of a ISIC card with my photo and name.

Posts: 2244https://youtu.be/bMjlXOsXWGY?si=ORQkvw7km3cJUi5o further to senor sperto's post about assault with deadly weapon in downtown centro rio, apparently if my language is right, drug gang commando Vermelho has stolen. 50 cal M2 belt fed machine guns and 7. 62 x51 belt fed FN Mag / M240 machine guns from the Federal armed forces.
So in terms of atmospherics, those of us who remember rio de janeiro when there were riots in downtown centro based on a rise of. 25 pennies (centavos) in local bus prices, and at the same time as the arab spring in the 2011 time frame (see also the book, red dress in black and white about istambul), may want to get ready for mass riots again in downtown rio and the outlying areas. See the kilcullen book, the accidental guerilla about ungoverned you or O shaped areas around the safe, well policed inner cities (like Barra de tijuca and Zona Sul areas like Ipanema and botafogo). Plan accordingly. If global events cascade, violence will be projected over images over the internet and by money in accounts to Brazil.

Posts: 1337Girl Friendly in Botafogo
I am pleased to report that the NOVOTEL PRAIA DE BOTAFOGO is "Girl Friendly". In fact, the staff seems to be "Girl Indifferent". I have walked in with different girls on different nights and the staff has not batted an eye. No fee, no document check, nothing. Maybe it's because they just assume these girls are my daughters! Ha ha ha ha.

Posts: 13Uber from Galeao
I am going to be in Rio next month. Is uber possible from Galeao? I seem to remember that they try to not allow uber at Tom Jobim Airport but maybe things have changed? I might just take the bus. Can anyone comment if taking aerotaxi from zona sul to Galeao is still the great deal it was in years past?
